Bacterial Paintings Slideshow

As promised, we’ve been looking in on the bacterial paintings created by participants at the workshop held at MadLab as part of the Manchester Science Festival. Take a look at the development of the plates over the course of the week:

Day 4

Day 6

It’s been really fascinating seeing the patterns develop and grow, as well as being rather comforting that our colonies were strong enough to make it this far. A special thank you to everyone who took part – without your designs, we wouldn’t be able to showcase the beauties of bacteria!

There are lots more pictures on our flickr photo stream for those who are interested in seeing more, including some photos taken on the day.
